rookies with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.78.

"We are excited to sign Julio to a long-term contract," Braves Executive Vice
President and General Manager Frank Wren said. "He is one of the best young
pitchers in the National League and one of our core of players we expect to be
together for a number of years."
